Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Wealth Brings Many Wives and Concubines

...

Zhao Erhu’s gang fled after being beaten, and Dexi Hall fell into a dead silence.

Xia Rou and the other two stared at Yan Xiaobao dumbfounded, completely unsure what to say.

This guy was simply too fierce, even more exaggerated than the action stars in movies. Seeing something this outrageous happen right before their eyes, anyone would struggle to accept it.

"Rourou, my dear wife, I solved your trouble for you. Don’t you think it’s time to thank me?" Yan Xiaobao grinned cheekily as he leaned his face toward Xia Rou, fishing for some praise and maybe a kiss.

"You only know how to fight, fight, fight! Do you think this is all settled just because of that? Stop being so naïve, okay?" Xia Rou pushed away Yan Xiaobao, her brows furrowed even deeper. She knew that this matter certainly couldn’t be resolved so easily.

"Exactly!" Zheng Xiaoyu chimed in, "You’re good at fighting, but so what? This is a society governed by law now, violence can’t solve everything. The scariest thing about local tyrants like Zhao Erhu isn’t their physical force—it’s their endless sinister tricks and schemes."

"Tch!" Yan Xiaobao dismissed her words with a carefree smirk. "What tricks can they possibly pull off in front of me?"

"With absolute strength, any conspiracy or scheme is futile. All reactionaries are paper tigers!" Chen Long resolutely sided with Yan Xiaobao, having now completely become his devoted fan.

"Alright, clean up the shop. I need to step out for a bit." Xia Rou, burdened with her thoughts, packed up the first aid kit and headed toward the door.

Yan Xiaobao immediately followed, grinning and laughing all the way. "Rourou, my dear wife, where are you going? I’ll come with you!"

"I’m going to do a follow-up visit for a patient. What would you even come for?" Xia Rou had no intention of taking this troublemaker outside.

Yan Xiaobao’s eyes darted mischievously. "Didn’t you all just say those bad guys wouldn’t stop hounding you and might try some underhanded tactics? I’m worried about my dear wife’s safety, so I’ll come along to protect you!"

Xia Rou pointed at the ground and said, "You knocked out a mouthful of their teeth. They’re all busy going to dentists for repairs now. How would they possibly have time to pick on me?"

Earlier, each of Zhao Erhu’s gang members lost two or three teeth on average. The dentists in the surrounding few streets are definitely going to have booming business today.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao’s eyes spinning with new schemes, Xia Rou quickly said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Nothing will happen. Clean up the shop, and when I return, I’ll take you to buy clothes."

"Oh... alright, fine..." Yan Xiaobao reluctantly agreed with a pout.

After Xia Rou left, Chen Long immediately grabbed a broom and mop to diligently clean up the scattered teeth and bloodstains. Still unwilling to give up, he kept begging Yan Xiaobao to teach him martial arts.

"I’ve already told you, you don’t have the talent. Besides, you’re not a beauty. Why would I waste my time teaching you martial arts?" Yan Xiaobao had absolutely no interest in teaching someone who looked as unappealing as a worm-like Chen Long.

"Sure, I’m not a beauty. But my sister is gorgeous! How about this, Brother Bao—just teach me two moves, and I’ll introduce my sister to you. Deal?"

"With a face like yours, how stunning could your sister possibly be?" Zheng Xiaoyu scoffed, rolling her eyes.

Yan Xiaobao paused, suddenly feeling that there was some truth to her sarcasm. Honestly, with Chen Long’s looks, it was hard to muster much hope for his sister’s beauty.

"Ha! The dragon’s offspring are diverse and unique, after all. Even though I’m just a bit less handsome than Brother Bao, my sister is absolutely not any less stunning than Sister Xia Rou!" Chen Long puffed out his chest proudly and pulled out his phone. "Don’t believe me? Let me show you her photo!"

As they glanced at the photo of the pretty girl on Chen Long’s phone, Yan Xiaobao’s eyes lit up.

The young girl had rosy lips and pearly teeth, bright eyes full of charm—indeed, a truly striking beauty.

"This is your sister?" Zheng Xiaoyu was equally surprised, staring at Chen Long with suspicion. "She looks so much like Yang Liying, the Heavenly Queen. Is this just a photo you downloaded online?"

"Why would I dare use a random picture from the internet to fool Brother Bao? Do I have a death wish?" Chen Long swore up and down, thumping his chest. "This really is my sister—my actual sister! And she’s even prettier in person than in the photo. Once summer vacation ends, my sister’s coming to Binhai to attend school. When the time comes, I’ll let Brother Bao see for himself how beautiful she is!"

Zheng Xiaoyu was still skeptical, but Yan Xiaobao had already completely bought into it. He figured Chen Long wouldn’t dare deceive him.

"Alright then. If your sister agrees to marry me, I’ll teach you a couple of awesome moves."

"Deal, deal!" Chen Long was giddy with excitement. "Brother Bao, you have my word—my sister has always listened to me since she was little. Plus, with your handsome looks and incredible martial arts skills, she’s bound to like you!"

"You guys are ridiculous!" Zheng Xiaoyu rolled her eyes dramatically, glaring at Yan Xiaobao as she scolded, "How can you act like this? Aren’t you in love with Sister Xia Rou and want to marry her? How could you start hitting on other girls behind her back?"

"Oh..." Yan Xiaobao nodded thoughtfully. "Then I’ll let my dear wife Rourou know about this when she gets back."

"..." Zheng Xiaoyu was utterly at a loss for words, completely shut down by his absurdity.

What on earth is going on inside this guy’s brain? Does he seriously think it’s okay to flirt openly as long as Xia Rou is informed?

"With great power comes great responsibility, and also great perks. For an unbeatable man like Brother Bao, having a few close female friends is totally normal," Chen Long chimed in, somehow blindly backing up Yan Xiaobao, without a trace of hesitation about throwing his own sister to the wolves.

"Absolute nonsense!" As a modern woman, Zheng Xiaoyu immediately condemned Chen Long with righteous indignation. "So you’re saying that men with influence, power, and wealth are allowed to be playboys? Then what’s the point of having the Marriage Law at all?"

"Let me ask you this: What powerful and wealthy man sleeps with only one pillow throughout his life?" Chen Long sneered as he retorted, "Monogamy is just a matter of appearances. And laws—they’re merely tools for the ruling class to maintain control anyway."

"Twisted logic!" Zheng Xiaoyu raised her voice by an octave, clenching her fists tightly.

"Haha." Chen Long smirked smugly, leisurely spinning his rhetoric.

"When impoverished, focus on improving oneself; when prosperous, gather a blooming family of wives and concubines. Poor losers and failures don’t deserve the right to reproduce, while the rich, strong elites naturally spread their lineage and genes as widely as possible. Men turning bad when they have money isn’t a moral failing; it’s a privilege and duty bestowed upon them by natural law! This is the crux of biological evolution and the true driving force behind human civilization’s progress!"

"In essence, human instincts are just like those of animals. Why are flowers so vibrantly red? Why do male lions, stags, and gorillas fight to the death? It’s all to compete for the right to reproduce and carry on their genes. Survival of the fittest, natural selection—it’s the overriding law that applies to all living things. Instincts cannot be overridden by simple legal codes!"
